It has also been reported that one of the injured was taken to the hospital in serious condition after he lost multiple fingers.&nbsp;<\/p><p>As for Harris, he suffered an eye injury, which is termed as superficial, meaning an injury that is caused mainly to the outer layers of the eye, such as the cornea&rsquo;s surface, but one that does not penetrate deeper into the eye.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>As per Hendrickson&rsquo;s statement, Harris&rsquo; injury is not too severe. He is expected to make a full recovery soon and should be ready for the upcoming season. The former Steelers&rsquo; running back recently signed a one-year deal worth $9.5 million with the Chargers in the offseason.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The July 4 fireworks mishap involving Chargers RB Najee Harris resulted in injuries to several attendees.

He spent the first four seasons in Pittsburgh, where he eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing barrier every year. Last season, he averaged just about 4 yards per carry and scored 6 touchdowns on the ground.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In March, Harris signed for one year with the Chargers, where he will be part of the Jim Harbaugh-led system that focuses heavily on the running game. After a revamped offensive line, the Chargers are expected to become a much more potent rushing attack, especially after they signed Offensive tackle Mekhi Becton and drafted running back Omarion Hampton.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Fortunately for Harris, this non-football injury is a narrow escape that should see him back on the field very soon. Had that not been the case, there is no telling how much time he could&rsquo;ve missed. The Chargers are set to begin training camp on the 12th of July for rookies, and the 16th of July for all veterans, with the new season less than two months away.&nbsp;<\/p><p><em>Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Najee Harris is expected to be a big addition to the Chargers backfield for the 2025 season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":73019,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1192,8468,82],"class_list":["post-73007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-najee-harris","tag-nfl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What To Make of Najee Harris&rsquo; &lsquo;Superficial&rsquo; Eye Injury?
